TOM FORD WHITE PATCHOULI
THE INSPIRATION
TOM FORD WHITE PATCHOULI IS A CLASSICALLY INSPIRED REWORKING OF ONE OF PERFUMERY'S MOST DISTINCTIVE SCENTS. PATCHOULI, THE NOTE SYNONYMOUS WITH EARTHY BEAUTY AND NON-CONVENTIONAL GLAMOUR, IS TRANSFORMED WITH A RUSH OF WHITE FLOWERS. THE PENETRATING NOTES OF PEONY, ROSE, AND JASMINE ELEVATE AND MODERNIZE THIS HEADY INGREDIENT THAT TOM FORD SAYS HAS LONG BEEN ONE OF HIS FAVORITES. SURROUNDED BY THIS WHITE-FLORAL TRIO, PATCHOULI REVEALS A RAVISHING NEW CHARACTER: STILL MESMERIZING AND DEEP, YET NOW FILLED WITH LIGHT AND MOVEMENT.
"THE BOHEMIAN SPIRIT OF PATCHOULI GIVES IT A MYSTERIOUS POWER, BUT HAS ALSO MADE IT DARK AND HEAVY," SAYS FORD. "I WANTED TO FREE PATCHOULI FROM THAT CLICHÉ AND PRESENT IT IN A TRULY INNOVATIVE WAY: SPARKLING, SOPHISTICATED, AND CLEAR."
TOM FORD WHITE PATCHOULI IS CONSTRUCTED AROUND AN EXQUISITE VARIETY OF PURE PATCHOULI-AN INGREDIENT HISTORICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE LUXURY AND OPULENCE OF IMPORTED FINERY FROM THE EAST. THIS SENSUAL, EXOTIC CORE IS STRIPPED OF ANY WEIGHT OF THE PAST, AND ENLIVENED WITH BRILLIANT NEW QUALITIES OF MATERIALS, SUCH AS ROSE DE MAI ABSOLUTE ORPUR AND PATCHOULI ORPUR.
THE GENRE
TOM FORD WHITE PATCHOULI PIONEERS A NEW AND SATISFYINGLY UNORTHODOX SPACE IN THE FLORAL-INFUSED WOODS CATEGORY.
THE NOTES
TOM FORD WHITE PATCHOULI IS CRAFTED AROUND THE PRIZED PATCHOULI ORPUR, A PRECIOUS INGREDIENT THAT PERFUMERS GIVE THE RESERVE STATUS OF A GRAN CRU. ON ITS OWN, IT EMITS THE AROMA OF FRESHLY CRUSHED PATCHOULI LEAVES.
UTILIZING ARTISANAL TECHNIQUES, THIS ESSENTIAL OIL IS SEPARATED AND REFINED. ITS MOST VIBRANT FACETS ARE THEN BLENDED INTO TOM FORD WHITE PATCHOULI.
TOM FORD WHITE PATCHOULI OPENS ENERGETICALLY. SPARKLING NOTES OF BERGAMOT BLENDED WITH DELICATE WHITE PEONY AND SPICY CORIANDER ACCENTS MAKE AN INSTANT PLAY FOR ATTENTION.
THE ALLURING, AND POWERFULLY MODERN, HEART UNFOLDS IN SEQUENCE: RICH ROSE ABSOLUTE, CARNAL NIGHT BLOOMING JASMINE AND THE STIMULATING AMBRETTE SEED.
PRECIOUS PATCHOULI ORPUR INFUSES THE FINISH OF TOM FORD WHITE PATCHOULI WITH EXOTIC DEPTH. ITS STIMULATING, SENSUAL PULL IS ENRICHED BY A MEDLEY OF BLONDE WOODS AND THE SOFT, EASTERN AROMA OF INCENSE.
THE PACKAGING
THE BOTTLE FOR TOM FORD WHITE PATCHOULI IS A WHITE ITERATION OF THE GLAMOROUS TOM FORD BLACK ORCHID BOTTLE. MADE FROM BEAUTIFULLY SCULPTED, WHITE OPAL GLASS WITH 23K GOLD ACCENTS, IT IS A SLEEK WORK OF ART WITH HEAD-TURNING, FEMININE ALLURE. THE OUTER PACKAGING IS A MATTE WHITE CARTON FINISHED WITH GOLD ACCENTS. ITS EXTERIOR IS MARKED WITH THE SAME RAISED FLUTING THAT ADORNS THE BOTTLE'S SURFACE. STIMULATING TO THE TOUCH, THIS DELICATE RIDGED SURFACE COMPLEMENTS THE SENSORY EXPERIENCE THAT COMES FROM INHALING THE JUICE WITHIN.
